Agency (2023)

At the surface it may seems it's the type of show that goes through workplace cases one after another, while that was slightly true initially, but it was just a drama themed around an advertising agency, or so I thought, initially.

Seen it twice now and the battle between Go Ah-in (Lee Bo-young) and Cho Seong-ha (Choi Chang-su) remains a thrilling endavour. Looking at the title you might think this is a slice of life about people working at an advertising agency, but that's not it. It's about the struggle of someone abandoned as a child to overcome her self doubt, abandonment issues and child abuse trauma.

You see her two sides, the confident executive versus the nervous wreck, heavily medicate and sleep deprived.
